Although both the audience and the jury have coincided in three of the four chosen, as happened in Tuesday’s semifinal. Thanks to the support of the professional vote, Mawot has also given the surprise and has achieved a pass for the end of Saturday. The public’s support, however, has not served to stop qualifying.

It also has a scenic presence. Your subject That diva It honors its title. In the letter he speaks of herself in the third person and surrounds himself with a scenery as excessive as she, but she does it with a melody that is not very current.
J Kbello recalled that Ricky Martin is one of the most global successful Latin artists in history, and also that, in the end, the Puerto Rican has been even more seminal than Julio Iglesias when embedding a specific style in the DNA of several generations of Spanish artists. Your proposal VIP Calca, both in the musical and in the choreographic, songs that have already competed in past editions of Benidorm Fest. But Ricky Martin’s golden age in music ended more than a decade ago. His candidacy is a paradox coming from a singer who, precisely, bordered the oxymoron demonstrating a great artistic personality in a version contest. Last year, in Cover Night (1), he had the audacity to find a successful turn to an issue as manido as In love everything is startingby Rafaela Carrá, in front of Chanel herself, who occupied at that time the jury role of the competition.

I am going to fall criticism from both sides, but I pee it, ”she said Monday in the Alicante city. What he wants with his scenography, he explains, is to claim the Spanish icons and move them away from political meanings to bring him closer to younger generations.
The profession of influencer It begins to have enough hearth so that family sagas are already established, such as Celine van Heel. Her grandfather, Andrés García-Carro is thanks to her Nonagenaria star of social networks, known as, and protagonist of the video of Alfred García when she appeared to Benidorm Fest. Now, helped precisely by the Catalan singer, this fashion and trends prescriber has debuted in music with The house.
